Burglaries At Gun Stores Increasing In Missouri And USA - But Locksmiths And Safe Specialists Have The Answers

Pictured above is a Google Maps embed of the location of the Denny Dennis Sporting Goods Store in Fenton, Missouri where thieves rammed the garage door to gain destructive entry and steal a number of firearms that are said to already have made their way to the streets of Missouri.

An article distributed widely has informed us about the daring burglary of the gun store and the theft of a number of firearms.

Another article in The St Louis Post Dispatch, dated September 6, 2018 also discusses this troubling trend of increasing burglaries of gun stores across America (see source below).

The article goes on to quote the store owner and his company's attempts to better secure his establishment. He explains that their use of gun safes actually mitigated further troubling loss.

Using security cameras, alarm systems, bollards at the front etc, they show that the store owners and management are pro-active in their security concerns, but it is still disappointing and troubling that there are still so many nefarious attempts to burglarize gun shops.


It is widely known worldwide, that gun safes have been and continue to be the best form of security to protect guns from theft. Many countries maintain strict building codes for gun safes and these codes are proven to be effective. But still, would be criminals continue to push the boundaries.

I dont know if the store owners had put any thought into consulting a trained and professional locksmith company to advise on better physical security initiatives that would dramatically strengthen and protect from unauthorised entry, but perhaps NOW might be a good time to consult someone?

We continue to attempt to educate consumers and readers of our site about the benefits of physical security products to secure and protect residences, businesses, institutions and public places, often with better security than can be provided by alarm systems, cameras, sensors etc, that do not provide the necessary security protections except for making a sound or taking a picture. While it's nice to know that a condition is occurring or has occurred, dont you think it would be more prudent to install better quality physical products that actually mechanically protect your dwellings?

Consulting your local locksmith or safe specialist is your first step to providing better security for your home, business, family, colleagues and even the wider community.

Locksmiths and safe specialists deliberately train in their vocations to provide better security options.
It's a no-brainer that consulting a deliberately trained and tested professional with field experience, should be your first and last stop, in attempting to minimize your losses while protecting everyone around you.
